Let’s clear something up about MAID in Canada.
It does not apply to children. You must be 18 or older. Mature minors do not qualify. Full stop.
It does not apply to people simply because they are poor or struggling. To be eligible, you must have a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability, be in an advanced state of irreversible decline, and be experiencing intolerable suffering that cannot be relieved in any way you find acceptable. Financial hardship alone is not a criterion.
It is not a rubber stamp. Approval requires assessments by two independent practitioners who review your medical records and confirm you have seriously considered available treatment options. When death is not reasonably foreseeable, a minimum 90-day assessment period is required.
People whose only medical condition is a mental illness are not currently eligible either, that eligibility has been postponed to March 2027 while further safeguards are studied.
You can have moral or religious objections to assisted dying. That is a legitimate position held by a lot of Canadians. But spreading misinformation about what the law actually says is not an argument. It is just fearmongering. Know wtf you are talking about before you talk about it.

@ceepster @ZoeyFeldman @Reil76 Just asking a question.
Applications is one thing.
“Doctors” signing off on them is another.
English

@LindaB31413409 @gaudall @Reil76 What makes you think that doctors won’t try to help? That is their oath. My mother is going through this process. You are insulting her intelligence and doing a disservice to people seeking the same.
English

@RayDomano @ZoeyFeldman @Reil76 I didn’t say it was good. Where did I say that? I’m merely saying that an application for MAiD isn’t news. The headline was click bait.
English

@ceepster @ZoeyFeldman @Reil76 And that’s a good thing?
Why are “doctors” signing off on his approval if he’s clearly stated he wouldn’t be considering maid if he wasn’t homeless?

@LindaB31413409 @gaudall @Reil76 What are you not getting? It is actually none of your business. The decision is a very personal one and is not taken lightly by anyone in medicine. Experimental drugs? Seriously? How much Greys Anatomy did you watch?
English

@gaudall @ceepster @Reil76 Lol..
Do you hear yourself?
There was nothing else to be done yo help this young man..
No experimental drugs..
No diabetes medicine.. no glasses..
He wasn't a old person at end of life..
I understand that...
But seriously not fighting for him? His life not worth it?

@LindaB31413409 @Reil76 You literally have no idea what you’re talking about and have likely gotten all of your “knowledge” from this website.

In 2013, Mark Carney left Canada and took the Bank of England gig. The right use this to call him anti Canadian. They didn't call it brain drain, or tweet about how "our best were leaving Harper's Canada."
Now Gad Saad bails for the US on Rogan and suddenly it's "principled hero escaping Carney's nightmare."
The selective patriotism is chef's kiss.
It's either telling of the individual or the person in power depending on who is in government I guess eh?

@RetiredEnginerd @JamesTate121 No it wouldn’t. Those voting machines would have been easy for someone with the capacity and know how to mess with during the years they sat unused. And nobody looked into it. Money buys everything. Including elections.
English

@JamesTate121 I forget. Is Elmo a fake idiot or a technical mastermind? Pulling off that in 7 different states without leaving any trail that any court could take seriously would be low key impressive.

@bluewmist I was going to stop procrastinating but I’m still thinking about it. Maybe tomorrow.

@DontBotherKeiti Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do when you’re in there?
English

@foundlost421 @xevekiah The world has gone to shit since women were "allowed" to participate, for the betterment of all of us, you should have just stayed at home with the kids, the way you actually prefer it, and before you jump down my throat, the 51% increase in antidepressant use proves this👍
English

So you’re basically admitting that men’s greatest fear is being treated the way they’ve treated women for centuries? Interesting. I thought being a stay-at-home mom was “easy,” “not real work,” and something “anyone can do.” But suddenly when it’s a man cooking and raising kids, it’s dystopia? Oh. Lord. 😂
